How about a relative clause:

   De'qunDaq choHta'bogh nuv pong'e' ghItlhlu'
   the name of the person who-has-changed-it will-be-written to
   the page history

{vay'} works well for "whoever":

   De'qunDaq choHta'bogh vay' pong'e' qonlu'
   the name of whoever has-changed-it will-be-recorded in the
   page history    [using {qon} "record" for variety]

especially in an "if" clause:

   choHta'chugh vay', De'qunDaq pongDaj ghItlhlu'/qonlu'
   if someone has changed it, his/her name will be written to
   (recorded in) the page history

Even simpler, use the nomen agentis of {choH} - *{choHwI'} "one who 
alters/changes [something]":

   De'qunDaq choHwI' pong ghItlhlu'/qonlu'
